I hope there will also be room for researchers to pitch their own ideas. This more focused approach that you've been pursuing certainly has it's advantages, but I'm guessing that the researchers themselves will also have ideas that you (and HN) won't have thought of before. (I know you're just starting to build out YCR, so I won't be surprised if it takes a while to get to the stage where you can do this. But still, I wanted to put the idea out there.)
